A phony “nephew” of Mayor Bloomberg is going around town demanding — and often getting — VIP treatment at the hottest Manhattan nightclubs. The notorious poseur claims to be “Dan Bloomberg,” hizzoner’s nephew, we’re told. The bogus Bloomberg has been spotted rolling into hot spots with four or five large bodyguards at a time at places including Lavo, Catch, Marquee and Avenue. We’re told the interloper doesn’t demand free champagne or even drink to excess, but, “He’s high-maintenance,” said one insider. “He likes the best tables. He pays his way. But he’s on his phone most of the time.” Some have fingered one flashy residential real estate broker, who rents apartments at a well-known Midtown high-rise, as being the mysterious imposter. A rep for the real Bloomberg told us that neither the broker nor anyone named “Dan Bloomberg” is “a relative as far as I can find.” When we reached the suspected sneak for comment, he said, “Is this a joke? I don’t have time for pranks.”
